Today, the band have revealed a music video for their new single entitled Eight Milligrams. This is the first of three singles from the new album, Apex. The video was directed by Theo Dikotter. Watch it now, at this location.
“The Eight Milligrams music video was shot in half-time and sped up to create the illusion of having been shot with old-timey, low frame-rate cameras” says drummer Marc Trummer. “The song takes personal anger and puts it against the backdrop of a violent revolution, thereby turning a feeling of individual apathy on its head to fuel a desire for general and abrupt societal change.”
